*Alice Davies expertly reconstructed the provenance of this drawing along with the larger series of the Twelve Months to which it belongs in her monograph of Everdingen’s drawings see Davies 2007 pp. 365-66 cat. nos. 529 and 531 and pp. 40 104-5. The series appears to have remained largely intact – despite often having been sold as separate lots – until the sale of Nicolaas Nieuhoff in 1777 where four buyers each claimed a portion of the twelve sheets. The descriptions in this sale catalogue are not detailed enough however to know for certain if the series as sold consisted of the Everdingen’s original suite or one cobbled together of mismatched sheets nor which buyer purchased our drawing. Nonetheless thereafter Ships at Sea was sold as an independent sheet.
